![]() This can work in some instances, but our advice is to look for more comprehensive solutions that are more sophisticated in their operation, and in-turn deliver a far better and more reliable result. The cheaper options on the market that come with a single or maybe a couple of plugs simply plug into the fuel pressure sensor on the rail and report less than target fuel pressure, which makes the factory ecu respond by increasing fuel pressure and delivering more diesel to the engine. ![]() It’s time then that we do more than scratch the surface and have a look at both options in more detail. ![]() With such a smorgasboard of tuning options available to the market making the right decision to power up your 4X4 has never been more confusing, nor, in-reality more full of potentially risky decisions. While the concept of ‘re-flashing’ the factory software isn’t something new to the performance car market, it is indeed a relatively new concept for the 4X4 arena, as heavy software security which kept Flash Tuners out of the diesel computers innards have been ‘cracked’, allowing relatively free access to the vehicles native operating system and code. Then out of left-field over the last 18 months there has come a new player, the ‘Flash Tune’. Like most popular automotive trends though the market has been overrun by a plethora of cheap options that have ridden the wave of successful quality chips, and left enthusiasts with a certain murkiness to the process of picking the right tuning solution that will not only deliver the claimed gains, but do so without causing potentially major reliability issues. ![]() There is good reason that the process of ‘Chipping’ has become popular too, as in a lot of instances they do in fact deliver the claimed gains and generally increase the fun-factor and towing power of your 4X4. Heady advertised gains of 20-percent-plus torque and matching numbers of increased fuel efficiency have seen the concept of the ‘chip’ embraced by the 4X4 market like no other in the automotive sphere. ![]() Until very recently the quest for more power and torque from your 4X4 via electronic means was the sole realm of the plug-in or wire-in performance ‘Chip’. ![]()
